People are crying while watching a movie on Netflix that is supposed to be a comedy.

There's a new movie on Netflix that's causing quite a stir among fans. A Man Called Otto, released in 2022 and starring the beloved Tom Hanks, has been placed under the comedy category. But don't be fooled by the lighthearted poster and Hanks' charming smile - this film packs an emotional punch that has viewers reaching for the tissues.

Social media is abuzz with reactions from viewers who were caught off guard by the powerful storytelling of A Man Called Otto. Many fans, like Kaylee on X, stumbled upon the film while browsing the comedy section and were not prepared for the emotional rollercoaster that awaited them. "I was bawling my freaking eyes out," she shared, surprised by the depth and heart-wrenching moments of the movie.

Others, like @natsabin and Cristina Hart, were moved to tears by the heartfelt narrative and praised the film's ability to both break and mend their hearts. Even Kathleen O'Loughlin, who seemed to have some inkling of what was to come, found herself short on tissues halfway through the film's two-hour runtime.

Despite its classification as a comedy, A Man Called Otto has struck a chord with viewers who appreciate its beautiful and relatable story. @nicolePhiri92 described it as a "beautiful film" that had her in tears, while @krisdana25 called it a "very good movie" that she could understand and connect with.

Director Marc Foster, known for his work on Bond films, brings Fredrik Backman's bestselling novel A Man Called Ove to life in this heartwarming and emotional adaptation. The story follows the grumpy and despondent Otto, who has all but given up on life following the loss of his wife. But when he meets his witty and spirited neighbor Marisol, a friendship blossoms that turns his world upside down.

If you're in the mood for a moving and uplifting film, A Man Called Otto is now available for streaming on Netflix in both the UK and US. And if you do decide to give it a watch, make sure you have plenty of tissues on hand - you might just need them.
